if you want utter cheese of the very highest order,

Tigertailz:  Heaven

it's great though :)

[Denim n Leather]

Savatage, Alone You Breathe. Jon's lament for his brother, Criss.

Savatage, Believe. Song about perdition and redemption.

Skid Row, I Remeber You. One of my favourite 'power ballads'

Evergrey Trilogy Of The Damned. Not for the easily depressed; lots of Catholic guilt!!

Testament, The Ballad.

Death Angel, Seemingly Endless Time. Tied with Testament for best thrash band ever, but they have some great downtempo material, too!!

Rush, Tears.

Opeth - 'Burden'
Metallica - 'Nothing Else Matters'
Nevermore - 'The Heart Collector'

Skid Row, I Remeber You. One of my favourite 'power ballads'

I concur. A cut above the other hair metal.

Dio - Don't Talk to Strangers

Isn't this stretching the concept of "ballad" a bit?
;)

Used to like (and lust a little :oops:) the Wilson sisters but it appears that Ann has turned into Yngwie Malmsteen's sister in this video :lol: :lol: :lol:
